While I Address This, Toss Me Another Beer 

By D.C. Watson

2005/04/21

Once again, we stand in utter amazement as Islamic ‘civil rights’ organizations attempt to down play Islamic terror by comparing a worldwide agenda to a couple of domestic terrorist loons, the late Timothy McVeigh (lethal injection), and Eric Rudolph.

Some literary jousting took place recently between Ibrahim Hooper from CAIR, and Vincent Carroll from Rocky Mountain News. It began with an April 12th, 2005 piece put together by Mr. Hooper titled “Terror knows no faith”.

In his piece, Mr. Hooper made the statement that the CAIR petition “Not in the name of Islam” “seeks to sever the false link between Islam and violence”.

Does it now? 

Vincent Carroll then responded to Hooper’s piece on April 14th, 2005 with a column titled “The McVeigh exception”.

Basically, Mr. Carroll’s column points out that Mr. Hooper’s thought process of it being wrong to associate terrorism with Muslims is outlandish, and that “so long as (Oklahoma City bomber) Timothy McVeigh is the exception in terrorism cases and Muslims being indicted (3 last week) and convicted are the norm, people will do what they always do: draw conclusions” 

Hooper then answered Mr. Carroll’s column with an op-ed titled “The Eric Rudolph exception by Ibrahim Hooper”.

Not much to relay here, other than Eric Rudolph’s sentencing, which was reported by every mainstream media outlet anyway.

Mr. Hooper also made mention that Rudolph had called himself a Roman Catholic, and that he (Hooper) “would never blame Christianity, or any other religion, for the deranged acts of individuals acting outside the boundaries of their faith”.

Acting outside the boundaries of their faith? You sure about that, Hooper?

Qur’an 9:5 “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful”.

Qur’an 9:29 “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection”.

"Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Surah 48:29)

Qur’an 5:51 O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

Is this not the will of Allah? Or did Muhammad misinterpret what Allah said to him? Oops, I know, we just took these verses out of context again, didn’t we?  

A true, loving, peaceful God does not command his believers to ambush, take prisoner, smite necks and fingertips, and extort tax from his other children. So perhaps Islamic groups can explain to us exactly who commands this butchery, Allah or Muhammad? 

Sorry, but we’re not going to sit around, be labeled as bigots and “Islamophobes”, and be told that we’re just ignorant about Islam. Let’s stop pretending these words don’t exist, because in 1400 years, not a damn one of them has been removed from the Qur’an. So, since these words have been proven to exist, and are in print, who commands the machete swingers? Allah, or Muhammad?

Someone should be held accountable, shouldn’t they?

Recently, a prominent American Muslim wrote a column in which he stated that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all originate from the same God.

And, in this column, he stated, “God's laws are universal but their adoption is a matter of choice”.

Is this “matter of choice” why the world continues to see and hear of Muslim violence all over the world?

Sudan : The Janjaweed.  

Denmark : Muslim criminals deported

Sweden and Norway : Muslim rape epidemic against Swedish and Norwegian women continues.

Beslan , Russia : Chechen Muslim terrorists seized a Russian school. One of these “peaceful, tolerant” gems ran a bayonet through the belly of a little boy who had asked him for a drink of water. Many children who attempted to escape were shot in the back or beaten. The terrorists who were killed in this siege, however, received their just reward. Their carcasses were wrapped in pigskin before they were buried. 

Bali , Indonesia : Nightclub bombing kills nearly 200 people. 

Amsterdam , The Netherlands ( Holland ): Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh is shot, stabbed, and nearly decapitated by an Islamic radical kook for making a film criticizing Islam for the manner in which Muslim women are treated.

This list goes on and on and on. Israel/Palestine, Nigeria , France , Spain , the Philippines , etc.

On to our own back yard. Since 9/11/2001, United States intelligence and law enforcement agencies continue to arrest and convict Muslim criminals who are either part of terror cells, committing fraud, or have been funneling funds to terror networks. Just a few of many examples:

 

  • Ahmed Omar Abu Ali: Accused of conspiring with al Queda to carry out attacks on the United States . Another Innocent Muslim? No. He admitted his guilt. 
  • Ghassan Elashi: Founder of the Texas chapter of CAIR, and Chairman of the Holy Land Foundation. His cousin is Nadia Elashi, (aka) Nadia Marzook, the wife of Mousa Abu Marzook, (aka) Abu Omar, the Deputy Chief of the Hamas terrorist organization’s Political Bureau.

  • Bassem K. Khafagi: 2003 Pleaded guilty to charges of visa and bank fraud in federal court in Detroit . At the time of his arrest, Khafagi was Community Affairs director with CAIR. Sentence: 10 months (Time served), and deportation back to Egypt . (Good riddance). http://www.sullivan-county.com/x/acair.htm
  • Sadeq Naji Ahmed: A Yemeni immigrant who was discharged from the U.S. Air Force after expressing sympathy for Osama bin Laden following the Sept. 11 attacks, and now faces trial on accusations of lying to land a job as an airport screener.

About CAIR’s “Not in the name of Islam” petition mentioned earlier in this column: The one that  “seeks to sever the false link between Islam and violence” as of April 16, 2005 currently had 688,088 signatures.Current Petition Progress:

 “6 million” American Muslims? “1.2 billion” Muslims worldwide? And only 688,088 signatures? For a petition that’s supposed to be sincere, heartfelt, and meaningful, this figure is pathetic, and should be embarrassing.  

Islamic organizations could be very productive, respected, helpful entities in America . Unfortunately, they don’t appear to be in control of their own destiny. As long as they continue to go against the grain, they and their masters will continue to be met with harsh, sustained resistance.  

There are many decent Muslims in this country. Many of them, the peaceful, refined, intelligent ones have been shuffled out of the mosques by brainwashed militant Muslim punks, because they don’t buy into the worn out, 7th century version of Islamic fundamentalism.  

The Imams in these Wahhabi Islamic centers are a localized main source of this problem. Until decent Muslims stand up to these cavemen, be it peacefully, or by force, cease in allowing certain Islamic groups to speak for them, and rid the United States of Islam’s rotten eggs, their entire community will sadly, and constantly be thought of in a negative light, and scrutinized.
